Chapter 31

Jax

O n the short ride back to the compound, I can't help but realize for the first time in my entire life, my scorpion is at peace. The drive is almost mindless and I'm lost in thought when I pull up and park in my usual spot in front of the main house on autopilot.

Dismounting my bike, I make my way to the storm doors that lead to the basement. They're practically hidden behind too small junipers, which is how we like it. After all, it's not a normal basement.

This is my safe place, my sanctuary, or at least up until recently. Now that space is in Ivy's arms. This is the armory and where if need be, we interrogate people.

I unlock the doors, opening them as the rest join me. King has Stanley slung over his right shoulder as they walk down the stairs. I let everybody enter, then shut the doors behind us, locking them.

The rest of the club know this room is off-limits without special invitation. Unless you want to become the next resident. King walks over to a steel chair bolted to the floor, and unceremoniously drops Stanley in it.

DJ fastens the manacles to his arms and legs. Now we wait for the son of a bitch to wake up, or not. Our mate walks up to Stanley and slaps him right across the face. His head whips around and I see several teeth fall to the ground.

Damn, what a hit. Note to self don't get in a fight with that woman.

I can't help but chuckle and readjust myself. Because damn did I get an instant hard-on from that. Looking back at Stanley, I notice he's starting to come around. I walk up to him and kick the chair a couple times.

He groans and Ivy grabs the back of his hair, yanking his head back hard. Well damn. That's one way to wake the bastard up.

"What the fuck! Who the fuck are you?" he says looking around at us.

Ivy doesn't let go of his hair, in fact, she yanks again getting a scream from Stanley. "You piece of shit are in no position to ask questions. That's his job." She points to King, momentarily shocking all of us. We hadn't discussed how this was going to go. But in our world, he does ask the questions.

"Oh, and if you don't give him the answers he wants, I'll make sure your death is extremely painful. Or at least more painful than I'm already gonna make it." She fucking laughs as she releases his hair. The sound goes right to my cock. I can't help but adjust it. Out of the corner of my eye I notice my brothers doing the same. Fuck she's hot when she gets bossy.

King walks up to Stanley, and says one word, "Why?"

Stanley blinks for a minute, staring at him. Then his face turns beat red. "You're one of them!" Spittle flies from his mouth as he seethes.

What the fuck is he so mad about? We're not the ones that wiped out his people.

Ivy doesn't appreciate his answer. She slaps him, again. This time on the right side, sending more teeth flying. "What the fuck are you talking about? He asked you a fucking question now answer it! Why the fuck did you wipe out our people?"

For a moment, Stanley gets a stunned look on his face, and then it dawns on him. He looks between all our faces. My eyes flash with my scorpion and I see my brothers do the same. For a split second, I swear I see Ivy's flash as well.

Ivy bites her lip then with her index finger on her right hand wipes the blood from her lip on the side of Stanley's face. He screams in pain within seconds.

"Fuckin thieving deathstalkers! You fucking stole her from me! But not before you tortured her, and one of your kind, impregnated her, killing her in childbirth! That spawn ripped her open from the inside out! I stomped it to death with my bare feet, while she bled out! She was my life, she was my wife!"

That was a shock for a moment, but only a moment. King says, "It wasn't us! We were barely out of diapers when you wiped out our entire fucking race!"

Through the agony on Stanley's face, he manages to grit out, "I would've killed you all if I could have fucking gotten to you. And her." Throwing his head towards Ivy. "How I missed her I will never know. Matriarchs are an abomination!"

Oh, that does it. We all growl, but before we can move Ivy grabs Stanley by his dick through his pants, and buries her nails in it. He screams an ungodly scream. "You took them from me," she snarls. "My parents and the parents that raised me! And I did nothing to you! My adoptive parents were fucking human!"

She is quite literally, spitting mad. Everywhere her spit lands, his skin sizzles. He begins to choke and sputter, but refuses to say anything further.

I step up to give him a good dose of my venom when King stops me putting his big hand out. I can't help the growl that comes out. He raises a brow at me.

"We all want a piece of this prick. Let's take him out back." He grins a sadistic smile, before continuing, "We'll let our beasts have a bit of… fun."

I smile, as do the rest of the guys who practically run up the stairs. While I bind Stanley, I notice Ivy has turned away from us. King is she… ok? He follows my nod and then goes over to her. I hear muffled words but I know he has this handled.

Once bound, Stanley doesn't even try to fight his fate. Sad, but I'm guessing it's got something to do with Ivy's venom melting away at his face.

I head upstairs and King follows with a now smiling Ivy. The rest of the guys are already in the open field in their stalker forms. They snap and swing their stingers at Stanley who… "Oh hell, the fucker just pissed and shit himself."

King shifts and I toss Stanley at him. I look at Ivy. She smiles and says, "Make it hurt," then sits on the ground, crossing her legs, and waiting for the show.

I don't make her wait, I shift and the fun begins.
